    Avalanche boxxer upgrade kit out! Will fit majority of forks!

    I really hope the DHX-tune will materialize. My frame (-08 DHR) does not clear the regular ava-piggyback shocks... I sent my pre-order during the new-years. A little late, I know. But it would be nice if they where available before the season starts (May). I have had my shock serviced and had...

    Service Avalanche MTN-8 Yourself questions?

    I'm not sure about the MTN rebound. Only have experience working on the DHF and DHS shocks. You will have to ask Craig about the rebound range... On the DHF, the bottom cap/compression valve is hexagonal. So you need a big socket. The manual shows exactly how you work on it!

    Service Avalanche MTN-8 Yourself questions?

    Yeah, the external adjustments are mostly for fine tuning. If you change the springrate alot, the rebound may need revalving. Maybe you could get some instructions on how to modify the rebound shimstack? I have not alot of experience of that... Sicko! Awesome oldskool machine! Big Link was...

    Service Avalanche MTN-8 Yourself questions?

    Congratulations on a truly Bad Ass sets of forks!! Had the pleasure to ride Seismic's MTN's a couple of times a few years ago. The most solid front end I have ever felt! Not very lightweight, though! :eek: I think he sent them to Craig for service once. It was pretty costly, because they...

    Avalanche boxxer upgrade kit out! Will fit majority of forks!

    Speaking of oils. What fork oil do you guys run? In the manual it clearly says 85/150, and there is a picture of a Spectro bottle that says 85/150 and 5wt. I went to my local bike/moto shop that I knew carried Spectro oils, hoping I would find the exact same stuff as Craig uses. However...

    Avalanche boxxer upgrade kit out! Will fit majority of forks!

    Interesting indeed! :) I just got my cartridge installed and have done some riding. It's really, really nice! Almost as nice as I remember the DHF! Same feel, but much lighter! I will try some more compression next time. I'm also exited to try to rearrange the shims for harder...

    Avalanche Cartridge For 888

    Good to hear that the cartridge performs so well! I loved the damping on my DHF! I ordered the 32mm Boxxer version last week, but have not received it yet... Can't wait! If it works as well as I hope it will, I'm certainly interested in a version for my Marzocchi 66. Not sure about model...

    That's Bjarke! The Danish Hucker! He's like a legend all over scandinavia! :) Here's a picture for you all to caption: In flightmode: Nice HA with a bit of sag on the rear :) Looks like a 26" front wheel in the last picture. But I think he rides with dual 24"

    From BMW to a Trail bike.....?

    Hi Lars! Nice to hear that you are looking for a lighter bike! I bet it will be interesting! I have to agree with the Turner suggestions! I know you tried my Sixpack wayback, and I think you enjoyed it! The 5Spot looks to have awesome geo for trailriding. Build it with some light, yet strong...

    New Avalanche website!

    Very nice! But I also want to see new stuff. Like upgrade cartridges for standard forks a'la BOS... :)

    Is factory wheels an option or is custom the way ?

    What, what, What?!!?! Seismic on not chrisking hubs?! wft... :) How did you break the Arrows? If they are not useless, go for a second set of light wheels with 5.1's. And keep the burly set as spares. :) Or, just go with new EX721 CD rims. Light, strong and easier to use than the 823's...

    Avalanche Suspension?

    That sounds very interesting! I have been om my 7" ti DHF for three seasons now, love the damping! Don't like the geometry and twistyness... Still, I have not found anything that comes close to the performance and hydraulic reliability of the Avalanche shock. So I hang on to it.. Personally...

    Ok! I tried a 8-speed shimano chain, aren't they 3/32? It was too tight for the top sprocket, anyway. #400 should do the trick! But it looks like the softest ti is 450... I will check with Craig later on. Jimmy, If you have any more problem with chains, try the KMX Kool! It's common...

    Hi! Thanks for the insight! Cool that you like it!! I can see the chain line is so critical cause the chain is so short. On the other hand, the secondary chain is very long! I predict nice shifting! First time I could backpedal in easiest gear, without any issues at all.

    Just built me a Race Link! Got the frame used, from a guy in London. Great condition! Used most of my components off my old DH-bike. It's about 21kg (46lbs. Ouch!!) My old alu. bike was 19kg... The BB axle was about 157mm (6.2") Profile lists only 6" or 6 7/8" ti-axles. Which one do you...

    Very nice! The sprocket and disc rotors look really good together! Is there enough splines on a standard axle to fit both the sprocket and crank? Or do you have a special axle? Can anyone recommend some lightweight cranks for the race link? I have a secondhand RL on the way. (Should ship...

    Nice. You should have some Rev pants in pink camo, to go with the jersey!

    Hmm.. a lightweight WC race-link? That sounds interesting! I'm guessing a lighter, butted, tube set. Maybe 853? Lower, slacker? If it also would have slightly shorter rear end, that would be my dream bike, right there! Please say that they will go into production!! :) I have ridden...

    Who has a XTR 20mm front hub?

    I have a XTR 20mm front hub! It spins nice! :) I got it because it was half the price of a king, but still had angular bearings. Also, I think the center-lock rotor looks killer. :) I suppose the alu carrier makes for a stiffer rotor that is is less prone to warping. Time will tell! The...

    Chris King 150x12

    If Hope made a 48poe body for 9speed cassettes (like their trials hub) they could really compete with Hadley. But I guess it would have to be made out of steel or Ti, because of the offset pawls. That would also add weight.. 24poe for the Pro2 is kind of weak..
